CYPRUS

OVERVIEW

The third biggest island in the Mediterranean has plenty to offer, what with year-round sunshine and sandy beaches galore. Cyprus is split into two territories; Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot, with the hotels we work with in the Greek-speaking South. The island is at its best from mid-June through to November. Choose between Cyprus’ airports, Larnaca and Paphos, both just over a four-hour flight from London.

We work with the most luxurious beach hotels on the island, all boasting a heap of culture on your doorstep. Taste the finest Cypriot wines, take a tour of classical ruins or take advantage of the weather and explore by boat. And however you like to relax, Cyprus has it in spades. It’s also particularly good for families with many of the hotels boasting English-speaking kids clubs and all the baby paraphernalia one could need when travelling with children.
